ADCS has collected qualitative and quantitative data from local authorities to evidence and better understand changes in demand for, and the provision of, children’s social care services since 2010. The ninth phase of the research brings the evidence base up to date and compares data from April 2007 to March 2024. This latest report draws on quantitative data from 124 local authorities and qualitative survey returns from 86 local authorities plus interviews with 34 senior leaders of children’s services.

The research tracks activity across key domains of safeguarding and child protection activity, from initial contacts at the front door to entries and exits from care. Data collection and analysis was performed by Data to Insight.
